Bug Description
When using the search lens, the first program shown or the last program searched for is sometimes launched instead of the program entered.
To reproduce:
* Press Super to show the search lens
* See 'Archive manager' as the first time
* Quickly type 'xpad' and press enter
* See Archive manager launch
You must do this before the search completes or the lens has time to update. It seems to launch the first item displayed when you press enter without waiting for the search to complete.
Note in this case I don't have xpad installed. I expected software center to launch but instead got archive manager.
I've had times where I launch Thunderbird using a search, close it, then try to launch something else later, and have Thunderbird (or what ever the last searched app) load.
You need a machine under load so that you can type faster than it can update.
